My theory is that because of the over reaction to checking from behind, we have taught a generation of players to turn their back on the defender when they get the puck. So when so many puck carriers have their back turned, you can't hit them. Checking from behind has turned (get it?) into a self-fu...

VFW

My son's team is participating in a VFW District Tournament but there was no league during the season. Not sure if that is the case statewide. There are 9 VFW Districts and each will send a Champion to the State Tourney. The host district also gets a host team, so it is a 10-team state tourney. I ag...

Govie Goals

Dewey Wahlin had 92 points his senior year at St. Paul Johnson in '83-'84. He played 4 years of varsity hockey including his freshman year at St. Bernard's. So he might have cracked 200.

Routine glove save with nobody around him. After whistle he hobbled to the bench and was done with 13:32 left in the third with Andover up 4-1. They scored 6 more times after he left. Groin? Knee? Don't know.
